That Time Sudan Threatened America's Soda Supply
Original: That Time Sudan Threatened America’s Soda Supply
Sudan once threatened to cut off exports of gum arabic, a key ingredient in American soft drinks, raising fears about the US soda supply. Sudan is the world's leading producer of the natural gum, which is used as an emulsifier in cola and other beverages, so any halt in shipments would hit major drink makers. Commentators are revisiting this little-known episode amid ongoing attention on Sudan.
Why now: Renewed attention on Sudan's conflict is prompting people to revisit how dependent global industries are on Sudanese gum arabic.
